When the memorial was read the government was astonished at the boldness with which some membors of the Chamber expressed themselves, Eventually they (the Ministers) became intimidated by the language wsed in the denunciation of the government policy in regard to General Montes, aud when called apon to ex- P'sin matters they shrank from the task, and endeavored pacify the Chamber in excusing themselves, because “Suse Teasons’’ at itbat time precluded (hem from fure Bishing the members with an answer to their questions, The Champer contended that ‘State reasons” were bo answers to Madam Montes’s potition, and if her besband’s condition was sach as her petition said {t was, and the treatment which General Montes wes being subjected was such as was described by his wife, tney could not refrain {rom declaring that it was Unconstitutional aud barbarous.

The Gasetic de France considers the speech to be not suf. ciently explicit and greatly deceptive, The Avenir Na tional is no} fayorabio in its estimate of the imperial document, ‘The Siécle states that a sort of alliance which seemed to have been tacitly formed between the religious organs and another portion of the press has now come to an end. The Waris Pays, speaking of Napoleon’s position towards Rome, says:— Nothing is more odious than religion turned to the ac- count of political passions. And thia is the spectacle which the Legitimis: party has presented to us for the Jest fifty years. Falsehood, hipoerisy, nothi as bee neglected to lead public opinion astray, Un lacious pretext that the Bourbons were aul fathers of the Church, that Heury IV., Louts XIV. and Louis XV. had fanctilied themselves their lifelong with the belle Gabrielle, with Mile. de is jére and with Muie. da Barry, they, clothed as they are io a borrowed religious robe, impudentiy proclaim, La Religion, est moi / so that outside the Legitimist party thore 13 no salvation.

According to a telegraphic despatch from Rome the Emperor Napoleon's speech wag well received in that city. The North German Gaselle, of Berlin, has the follow. ing:— The speech of the Emperor Napoleon Is the expression, once more renewed, of a policy of peace abroad and at home, Toe imperial language agrees with that of the speech from the Prussian throne in this sense—that they Dota reveal anearnest intention to dnaliy dissipate the apprehensions respecting foreign war which have been aralyzing the commercial world. The assurance that France will not interfere in the internal development of Germany has a significance all the more practical that the development of our interest does mot imply any menace to Francé, The circumstance that the Emperor's speech does not mention the separate understanding be- tween France and Austria, of which so much bas re- cently been said, cannot but contribute to reassure pablic opinion, The reproach which the address directa against Italy respecting the non-execution of the Convention of September 1s a sovere one. ‘The Kreus-Zeitung approves of the declaration in the speech that France will not intervene in German affairs, Tt adds that Germany baa no thought of aggression upon the right of the Freuch nation, and that the reorganiza- tion of the French army is @ matter which concerns that pation alone, With respect to the Roman question the same journal considers the assembling of a con- ference as still very doubtful, seeing that mo Power will consent to engage in negotiations without a preliminary basis, and especially without a positive declaration from the Pontifical government itself; and he states his con- viction that Francp will remain at Rome to protect the Holy See until the question shall be definitely settied, In an article entitled “A Page of Contemporary His- tory,” published lately in the Turin Gasetie, and giving an account of various incidents connected with the late ministerial crisis in Italy, the writer gives the following asa telegraphic despatch sent on the 18tn of October from Paris to King Victor Emanuel by Prince Napo- Jeon :— I bave to inform your Majesty, for your guidance, that the council of ministers held under the ey of the Emperor at St. Cloud has decided unanimously, less two votes, those of La Valotie and mine, to send a corps darmée to Rome.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Napoleon’s General Coufession—Opening of Legislative Seasion and Scene in the mbers—Appearance of the Ladles—The Foreign Miolsters—Engenic, the Emperor Prince Imperial~The Speech and Ite eception=Mexico. Paris, Nov. 19, 1867, The annual opening of the Corps Législatif places the Emperor in somewhat of the position of the penitent in the confessional acknowledging his past sins and errors, and promising amendment in the futuro, Like many others he does not, probably, always reveal the whole of bis peccadilioes, but the opportunity of seeing such an august personage in such a position al xc.tes much curiosity, This year the rush for tickets for the opening ceremony was greater than ever before, and thousands of applications were refused, The American Minister had over a hundred requests and but four tickets were apportioned him. Through a friend at court I was for- tunave enough to obtain one of the immense pieces of pasteboard which gave admittance to the Salle des Etats, where I bad a tull view of the ceremony. * Dressing myself in the required costume of dress coat, white cravat and black continuations, I presented myself at the door of the Pavilion Denon in the Piace Napoloon Third, which ig one of the courts of the new Louvre, @ little before eleven o'clock. Already the Place Caroussel was filled with troops and gay equipages, while coachmen and outriders in gorgeous array were dashing tn from the Rue de Rivoli and from tho quay. The stone steps leading into the building were overbung with a canopy of crimson velvet, and passing under this and through @ long hall, lined on both sides with the Garde de Parts, and up a stairsase tbrough one of the gallorics of paintings of the Louvre, I entered the Salle des Etats. This is a room constructed buta few years since and opening from the long gallery of paintings in the Louvre. Here the annual ceromony of the opening of the Chambers is performed, and it is probaple that if a deliberate attempt were made a more inconvenient avd uncomfortable room for such a purpose could not be arranged. It is a parallelogram, with a very narrow gallery running round three sidea of it, Under this gallery, on the lower floor, are two rows of seats, Tho body of the hall is appropriated to the senators and deputies, the judges of tho courts, and other civic dignitaries, while the ministers, marsha!s and cardinals occupy seats atthe side of the throne, The throne is on a raised platform, the throne cbair being a large arm chair of gilt and red velvet. Back of this is acanopy of Ted velvet spotted witb the goiden bees, the emblem of the Napoleonio dynasty, and surmounted with the imperial eagles. e The room will contain about fifteen hundred specta- tors, crowded in and under the galleries. The doors were opened at half-past ten, and at elovea nearly every place was occupied. As usual on these occasions, at loast two-thirds of the spectators were ladies, occupy- ing the upper galleries and two rows of seats placed between them. All the malo portion of the spectators were obliged to stand, and we were very much crowded. The ladies were required to be in toilette de ville, but were Rot very much dressed, the really most brilliant looking ‘ican indies, occupy- ry, attired im rich Towards noon the scone became very brilliant and the body of the hail was rapidly fliling up. Car. dinals, with their long red robes; marshals of France, in their splendid uniforms, their breasts covered with decoratious; chamberiains, with their elaborately gold laced coats; senators and deputies in their uniforms of blue and gold, the ministers wearing their orders and decorations, were mingling and chatung and apparently as much interested in‘what was about to occur a# though they had some real influence and power Jn the government, and as though they were something more than a lot of puppets, mado to dance or stand stil) to vote or to absta:n from Voting, ag the wires are pulled by the great showmau, ‘The foreign ambassadors and their suites occupied a reserved gallery at the right ot tue throne. The Papal Nancio held the seat of honor at the right; next to him came Prince Metternich, the Austrian Minister, with a jolly German face; next Lord Lyons, who sat be- tween Metternich and the Count de Goliz, the Prassian Ambassador; then Baron Budverg, the Russian Minister, who sat elbowing the Turk; then representatives of smaller powers, among them tve Persian and Japanese. The American Miuister was not present—be baving been detained by stress of weather at Folkestone, where he ped on his way from the Isle of Wight, where be been to visit his family, The United States was represented by the Secretary of pagetioss in veges uniform, Among the brilliant gathering in this gallery was the bs fe Minister, a gentieman *‘as black as the ace of spades.’’ Atter we bad waited nearly two hours, st five minutes before one the announcement “L’Imperatrice!’’ was made, and her Majesty, preceded by a number of cham- deriains, and accompanied by the ladies of the court, walked up the grand al Mounted the throne amid cries of ‘Vive Avrived on the upper ate; jesty turned and made an ‘exovedingly graceful curtsey, and then en- tered her tribune oo the Sebi ot the throne, seatin, herself between the Princess Mathilde on her right the Princess Murat on her left, The Empress was in white satin shot with laurel leaves, and trimmed with Carmelite velvet, a fichu Marie An- toinette, black lace, with @ waistband of dark colored velvet and a white bonnet, The Priricess Mathilde in yellow satin, trimmed with zipeline and a pardessus of the same, Tho Empross is beginuing to show her forty years, although she 1s still a remarkably handsome owen, Punctually at one o'clock the Emperor was announced, and came in pi led by his chamberiains, leading the Prince Imperial by the hand. Ail rose, and the signal was given for cries of ‘ Vive l'Empereur,” which were given im the usual weak and unbearty manner in which the French do these things. Upon ascending the throne, the Emperor turned and bowed, and seated himself in his throne chair, with the Prince Im- perial at his right in another chair. The Emperor was dressed in his mili uniform and the Prince imperial im black velvet kuee breeches and jacket, with red stock- ings. He ‘across bis breast the grand cordon of the yon of honor, and looked pale and thin. Upon being seated the Empet Immediately opened the paper which be held in bis band and commenced reading bis speech, Emperor reads clearly and distinctly, but mechanically and with little modulation of voice. He remained seated while reading, His second paregraph about ‘‘accepiing fraakl: the changes on the other side of the Rhine” fell perfectly dead, there not being the slight- est murmur of approbation, while that rolative to the Roman Intervention was recoived with ‘“bravos’’ and cries of ‘ris bien!” whieh is about the limit to which a French deputy’s enthusiasm will permit him to go.

Napoicen’s Invitati {From Galignani’s Moe: rof Nov, 22.) A Madrid journal publishes text of the iuvitation Wo a conference addresved by France to the governments of Europe, ‘Ihe fact of this document having been first translated into Spanish and uow into English will proba- bly occasion some slight variations in the wording, but the general sense rewains unaltered: — MoxsiguR —Avimated with feelings of sincera friend- ship towards Italy, and penetrated with the importance of the interests on which depend the security aud ide. pendence of the Pontitical throne, the Emperor has wit- neased with deep a(iliction and constant solicitude the antagonism in which events have placed the government of ane. and that of Victor Emanuel. Our greatest dosire had been to discover the possibility of a good un- derstandiug aud to coutemplate that result, ye have omitted no efforts suggested by a calm observation of facts, and the enumeration of the means we have em- piogea would be long, lowever, being less anxious to arrive at an immediate solution than not to compromise by premature excesses, aresult which time alone can cause to bear fruits, we bave endeavored to calm agitation ou one hand and mistrust on the otuer, and such was the spirit of the Convention of the 15th of September. By placing the Suture of the portificacy under the proteciion of italy and France 6 might obtain security aud tho Italian goy- ernment lors! apeed of calming, by the sincerity of its conduct, thé” uneasiness and suspicion which en- tered all hearie, This measure of prudence was destined, from the moment in which it should begin to produce its effects, ta appease the passions which, under tho form of pa- triotism, have always endeavored to divert the minds of the Italian people from thelr natural pursuits to convert them into instruments of a disorder which the revolu- Hionary party ts endeavoring to develop on all sides, with the same object and by similar means. The events which have just occurred in Italy carry with them a great lesson, and are of a nature to excite a the European Cabinets. If Emperor's government has been forced to maintain intact the conventions made with it, and ff by its firmness it has given @ fresh force to the feelings of moderation which in Italy aspire to establish the gran- deur of the country on secure bases, this‘is not a reason that the task which events have imposed on France should fallon her exclusively. Her eiforts, to be com- pletely efficacious, must be largely shared by the other governments, which are not less interested ia matntain- ing the principles of order and stability in Europe. At present there no longer exist thone considerations whicb, on a former occasion, rendered difficult the ex- amination of such queatious by the cabinets of Europe. Ttaly, recognized by the powers, in peace with them, and concerning itsell onty with her own subjects of agi- tation, canvot be a direct cause of disorder and conflict ; Dut the fact cannot be dented that Aer situation, like that of Rome, requires the serious attention of aff, because it isa subject of disquicude and anziely, According to the principles which are now recognized in the world, no government will refuse to give to its subjects of any form of belief all legitimate satisfaction tred by the peace of their consciences, We have no doubt that from this Fpl of view the European governments will accept with eagerness the proposal we make to them to assemble in a Conference to examine those serious questions, Thus, in examining the facts with calm and atteation, that embiy, naturally inaccessible to sec~ ondary considerations, will find the bases of a labor to wnich we must not at the present moment think of fix- ing the limits and of which we cannot anticipate the results, Be #0 good as to submit this object to the attention of the government to which you aro accredited. For our part we are confident that It will not hesitate to give a favorable reply, and that it will recognize tue opportune- ness which circumstances give to tho immediate as- sembling of tho Plenipotentiariva, Receive, &e.

From Galignani’s Messenger, Noy. 22] en of England’s speech on opening the Par- considered by the Paris journals as insignia ‘ery point but two—-the expedition to Abyssinia man question, The first our contemporaries pass by generally without notice, as not belonging to their competence; but on the second they remerk rathor freely and not by any means in tavorable terms. [From the Paris Constitutionnel, Nov, 22. The speech delivered before the English Par: points out the motives which have determined t! ist government to undertake tuis Abyssinian expedi- tion, the chances of success of which may have been discussed by the preas, but which from a profound feel- ing of patriotism meets with general approbation in the country. For some years is well known, the t anxiety of England has to observe, even io urope, an attitute which should proserve her as fer as i¢ from any conflict, and should assure the bese- fits of peace. She is no doubt proud to possess a large empire in Ind: mat if it now to be conquered, there are dou whether she would jaunch into the wara which the former company or the Crown bad to sustain before acquiring those vast possessions, It 1s thus, a8 may be said, against ber will, and simply be-ause she is forced to do so, that England is sending an expedi- tion against the Emperor ‘theodore, Paris Patrie, Nov. 22 turoed to Rome in order to secure execution of a treaty which will oxist for speech has firmly declared, s0 long been replaced by new international stipulations, Whatever ma: our desire to hasien the period of our withdrawal, the latter, in any case, restx, therefore, dependent npon the conclusion of this new treaty. The actual state of things, wo admit, Is pro- vigional and precarious; but nevertheless it guarantees the maintenance of the satu quo; it rves matters as they are, to use the language of the jorisconsutts. We caunot of ourselves depart from this provisional position; left alone we can only do one thing— to make it lasting. In order to put an end to it we make au appeal to Europe, whom we invite to come and rogalate along with us, in a stable and do. finite manner, an jinterest which concerns every Power. This is the t pny ‘vpn which the speech of the of England omits to enlighten ua, and we consider the omis- sion much b be regretied.
